The Oxy patch on the Houston Astros uniforms is a circular patch featuring the red and blue logo of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, also known as Oxy. The patch is located on the left sleeve of the Astros jerseys and will be featured throughout the regular season and any postseason games. The Astros signed a seven-year deal with Oxy to have the patch representing the Houston oil and gas company on the sleeve of the Astros jerseys. The Astros deal with Oxy is part of a new process that allows MLB teams to include advertisements on their uniforms. The Astros patch is larger than most other teams patches and has drawn criticism from some fans for being too big and overbearing.
